now on my 5th Volvo
 

all started back in the 80s
with a 360
next came a 480 es
then a 480 turbo
bought an s40 late last year
and added a c30 this week

I got my first Volvo in 1985; a 360 GLS.
Then a 340 1.7 in 1991,
440 Xi in 1992,
V40 1.9Tdi in 1996,
V70 2.5D in 2002
XC70 D5 in 2006,
XC90 D5 2012
And a V90CC in 2018

My wife is on her second Volvo with a V40 D3, she previously had a S40 a few years ago, while my son had a S40 and now has both a C30 and an XC70.
Our friends have accused us of lacking imagination.

Wonder what your friends drive...?
When you find a good thing, you stick with it - I certainly did!
Having ‘discovered’ Volvo in 2008, I’ve rarely deviated (below).
Collecting longed-for V90CC next week! :teeth_smile:

At the risk of being accused of willy waving.

I have been a continuous Volvo owner for 45 years. My father bought me a second hand 145S for my 18 birthday and I have kept with the marque ever since.

'67 145S
'72 145S
'73 1800ES
'7? 164E
'84 360GLT
'88 360GLT
'97 V40
'01 V40
'03 C70

The 1800 brings back fond memories, although it was a bit agricultural to drive. The second 360 did 270,000mls having bought it as an ex demo. I kept the first V40 for 16 years and covered 370,000mls with only one minor breakdown; I was so pleased with it the only car to replace it was another V40.

You will not be disappointed.

You’re right - it’s awesome!
Mind you, it took some finding - D5 Pro with almost every option, ex-Volvo management, barely 1yr old, £24k below list (couldn’t justify new, not even with a generous Affinity discount).
Pine Grey / Blonde - nice! :cool:

I’m not brand loyal, but do like Volvo. Here’s mine (volvos only)
